By the time of her
death in 1603, Queen Elizabeth had become a legend. Over the next four
centuries, that legend grew as her reign receded further and further into
history. Many stories about this great Queen have been told, but not all
of them are true. Some of them have been accepted as true for generations,
some perhaps we would want to be true.

On this page I have
tried to outline some of the most popular legends about the Tudor Queen,
and whether in fact they were true.

Try and guess for
yourself which statements and stories are true and which are merely myth.
